Doctor Who - Season 7 Thread.

I think the episode was amazing

did anyone think that the crashing through the Shard was a wasted shot. I'm not someone who likes action for the sake of action, but if it fits then its a good thing. I was expecting a big scene where we saw the window properly get smashed, shards about. I just think they did the cheap thing of not showing it.

The TV show is not a hollywood blockbuster, cost to show it probably wasn't worth it.

There's been stunts similar before, thinks breaking. I think it could have been done cheap and made to look good. It's just they went on about him crashing through it and looking good but it didn't look that great in the end. This is coming from someone who isn't keen on too much action all the time. I thought he plane bit was good.

Was an amazing ep, I wasn't that keen on the Christmas Special. The intro of yesterday reminded me of "Blink" and omfg at Clara's book being written by "Amelia Williams" and how she says 11 is the best which on the Melody Malone book was where it was death of Amy and Rory woop =)

Sure, but those will be on episodes where the budget hasn't been used as much. The quantity (And even the quality, for once) of the digital SFX on this episode probably cost quite a bit. From a story telling perspective it wouldn't add very much and whilst only to a minor extent portraying the doctor as non-violent is fairly important.

Obviously whoever wrote the script hasn't got a clue what Habbo is. They probably just googled 'social networking sites' and saw Habbo and put it in. You don't even have pictures of people on Habbo let alone where they work I thought the episode was going in a good direction to start with, but I felt it ended abruptly, and the Doctor just solved it out of nowhere really. I felt it would have been better as a two-parter. And why did he need to drive some motorcycle up the shard? Why not just use the Tardis?

is this even in canada??

I agree, it's one of those points where I always feel like Doctor Who should be an hour long instead. A two-parter would drag on a bit in my opinion (The two-part moon one got real stale for that reason in my opinion).

Why not just use the Tardis?

'I don't take the TARDIS into battle' or something to that effect.

It was announced pretty recently the past few days that the company that does the SFX on Doctor Who, The Mill is actually closing down because of the lack of SFX being used and them not ordering a new full series for this year hence the split series

- Moffat probably asked one of his kids as one of them has their own youtube channel where he reviews games and stuff.

- I wasn't fond of the spoonheads them self when they had the form of someone else.

- Also I thought it was pretty obviously the GI (Great Intelligence) was behind it because in the Snowmen the snowmen just repeated what ever the kid said, and then the spoon head of the little girl repeated what Clara said.


Also, did anyone notice in Claras book where she has crossed her birthdays off shes missed the year 16 and 24.
